Mercedes-Benz becomes the most expensive car manufacturer in the world.

Mercedes-Benz has overtaken Tesla as the most expensive car manufacturer, according to data from the international analytical organization Brand Finance. This is due to the fact that Elon Musk-led Tesla has experienced a 12% drop in its stock price, valuing it at $58.3 billion. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, gained 1% and regained the top spot with a valuation of US$59.4 billion. According to brand finance researchers, the main catalyst for this reorganization of the automotive hierarchy was Mercedes-Benz's skillful implementation of cost control measures and careful selection of the product portfolio. These strategic moves contributed to a sharp increase in earnings before interest and taxes and strengthened the financial performance of the brand. In addition to the financial performance, Mercedes-Benz demonstrated the strength of its brand, as evidenced by significant investments, strong equity and increased customer satisfaction. Despite the downgrade, Tesla has maintained a relatively stable brand value, falling only slightly from 80.87 to 80.53. Importantly, this resilience earned Tesla a AAA- rating. In other words, the core brand is steadfast and enjoys unwavering consumer recognition and support. While these figures highlight the strong loyalty and support for the Tesla brand, which is an important element of its long-term success, there are also new challenges that cast a shadow on brand recognition. The deterioration of the reputation is associated with the controversial behavior of CEO Elon Musk, whose public actions affected Tesla's position in the market. Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV Alex Hay, managing director of Brand Finance in Asia Pacific, emphasized that this is changing, saying: "While other electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD and New Flyer are experiencing significant growth, it will be important for Tesla to maintain a consistently high level of awareness and popularity among consumers in order to remain competitive. The changing dynamics in the automotive industry highlight the delicate balance between financial performance, brand power and the important role that leadership plays in shaping public opinion.
